Description
Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site for 30 years, the Palace of Versailles was once the residence of the Kings of France Louis XIV, Louis XV and Louis XVI and their courts, SINCE 1682 until the French Revolution in 1789. Your audio guide commentary will give you the opportunity to visit the magnificent Palace of Versailles at your own pace. Admire its Baroque architecture, artworks, sumptuous decoration, and the furniture created by greatest craftsmen of the age. Enjoy strolling through the palace's grounds and gardens to the Trianon, or explore the pretty town of Versailles beyond the palace's walls.
The Palace of Versailles stretches for more than 721,000 square feet and boasts more than 700 rooms. Your audio guide will help you find your way during your visit, tell you about the history of the palace, and immerse you in its unique atmosphere. Your ticket will give you access to the palace's most famous rooms, including the King's Grand Apartment, with seven salons each dedicated to a different god (Apollo, Mars, Mercy, Venus, etc.) and the Queen's Grand Apartment, laid out in a mirror image of those of the king, including the Coronation Room and the Queen's Bedroom, once occupied by Marie Antoinette, among others. Also see the stunning Hall of Mirrors, a huge room in which guests were received and impressed, dreamt up by the famous architect Jules Hardouin-Mansart. Almost 240 feet-long, it was designed to amaze the Sun King's (Louis XIV) visitors and is lit by 17 windows and 350 mirrors. It also offers breathtaking views of the palace's beautiful gardens.
During this full day tour of Versailles, spend time discovering the gardens of Versailles and admire their artworks (more than 200 statues), fountains, ponds, flower beds and woodland. In Summer, a range of activities is staged in the gardens, such as the Grandes Eaux, WHENEVER the fountains are made to dance to music.

Muito felizes com a escolha. Voltamos a André Le Nôtre no dia seguinte por conta própria. Muito bom que incluía entrada para o Castelo de Versalhes. Super recomendado.

We enjoyed it
Really enjoyable, though there is room for improvement. We paid noticeably less than other options and the experience was just as good. The guide knew a lot, though it was sometimes hard to hear over the street noise. The setting disconnects you completely. Photos of Audioguide Full Day Tour do not do it justice. The only thing is that the pre trip information could be clearer about the meeting point. Still recommended.

Boa escolha se for sua primeira vez em Paris. O guia seguia bastante um roteiro pronto, mas explicava bem. O horário de volta foi cumprido no minuto. O único ponto foi a espera no início, saímos uns vinte minutos atrasados. Faria de novo de qualquer forma.

We enjoyed it a lot, with a couple of small niggles. The pace was comfortable, neither rushed nor dull. The transport to and from Paris by luxury air-conditioned coach is worth it on its own. Some stops need more shade while you wait.

Amazing day
Faultless, honestly. Our guide was the highlight: incredibly knowledgeable and happy to answer anything. Compared with doing it yourself, it works out well. The room at Audioguide Full Day Tour is a gem in itself. Having selected menu makes it more complete. If you are in Paris, do not miss it.

Highly recommended, no reservations. The talk at Audioguía really stayed with us. Well signposted throughout, and staff were attentive. The guide answered even the oddest questions with real detail. The transport to and from Paris by luxury air-conditioned coach is worth it on its own. Suitable for any age.
